The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 22841 on 10/12/17, as the stock market ended lower. The stock market has been red hot but a major correction can come at any time and has been long overdue. I just updated my Top Stock Picks 2018.

Shares of Tesla (TSLA) tested $360 after Morgan Stanley raised their price target to $379 from $317 this week. Tesla is set to dominate the electric vehicle space in a major way. The next two catalysts are earnings and the semi-truck announcement. Tesla (TSLA) is the next Apple and shares are a strong buy on all major pullbacks. China 3x Bull (YINN) and Small Caps 3x Bull (TNA) are also strong buys on all major pullbacks in 2017.

Tesla (TSLA) - Tesla (TSLA) continues to trade in the $350's after a large bounce last week. Tesla is working through a tiny setback with the Model 3 right now. Tesla will be producing 10,000 Model 3 cars per week by the end of 2018 so this tiny glitch has me yawning.

Tesla is the next Apple so all major pullbacks remain a buy, especially below $300. Tesla (TSLA) will now face heavy resistance between $350-$355.

Intrexon (XON) - Intrexon (XON) dropped back into the $17's this week. XON has been mentioned as the stock of the decade by early AMZN investor Bill Miller. XON is a strong buy below $17 and I'd like to buy more around $16 over the next few months. TSLA was also mentioned as the stock of the decade.

Apple (AAPL) - Apple (AAPL) rebounded back above $150 ahead of earnings season. I still view this stock as a strong sell above $150 because I feel there are better buys out there. The size of the company greatly limits upside potential.

Amazon (AMZN) - Shares of AMZN are climbing back of near $1,000 this week. AMZN will have support between $930-$950 on any pullback.

Small Cap Bull 3x (TNA) - TNA is trading around $67 and is now up 110% since the election. I like shares in the $40's for the long term.

Shake Shack (SHAK) - Shake Shack (SHAK) continues to shine into Q3 earnings. SHAK is a great long term stock to buy below $30!

Chipotle (CMG) - Chipotle (CMG) is now trading back around $315. I view shares as a strong buy down below $300 but I'd rather own TSLA.
